JAPAN!

Been doing a lot browsing of the web during the last few days due to a little illness and found a whole bunch of stuff from over in the far east. This is just a little bit of what I found (this one's from londonfixedgear). Look out for that amazingly small wierd frame with the 650 on the front!

Ride It Sunday 22/2/09











Yes indeed!
This Sunday was a good day!
Will, Ben and Ryan came over early doors for a tour of Manchester (I hope I did a good job)!
First of all we met in Harry's for a chat with James and Vinny about wheels and the state of my chain...
We then headed over to the polo session at Platt fields, which I'm sure the lads will agree was an absolute blast! all the lads had a smash around and learnt the ropes. The word is Leeds will be on the polo soon so Manchester dropouts better get practicing!
All of a sudden it was 6pm and GMEX time!
The turn out was fuckin ham shankin! We counted 18 people on the ride! YES MATE!
The ride was to The Didsbury in East Didsbury, it was a fast ride through curry mile and up past the Red Lion, Withington. Over through Didsbury town centre and up to the didsbury!
Everyone had a good ride, some were faster than others!
We ended the evening with the new phenomenon that is two man 1 fixie!
after several rounds, it was a close bout between Ben and Will, James and Andy and Richy and Ben.
Ben and Richie took all in the end!
at this point it was 15 minutes until the Leeds lads train so I got off with them. Somehow we got the train with seconds to spare! how? fuck knows!
massive thanks to Will, Ben and Ryan for coming over the hill and thanks to Steve and the lads for teaching us polo!

WE LOVE YOU ALL!

FUCKTHEHATERS!

Ride It Sunday 22/2/09

6pm ride 6:15!
Potential ride to either Hyde or Didsbury depending on the leeds lads coming over to visit!
Will and a few others are up for a jib around so we'll play it by ear to accommodate them.
Should be a good one!

Ride Safe!

VALENTINES GOOD TIMES!




If you didnt already know, the rideitsunday tribe went up to Leeds to represent in their first ever alley cat/ ginnel whippet!
we were stoked to meet so many new people from literally all over the country especially the Edinburgh lads, who we'll hopefully be visiting at the end of march (more on that as and when).
It was a nice fast hilly race that cost one man his face and his front wheel (get well adie!) and others their lungs but it was well worth it and a triumph on Leeds part!






we all had a top day and brought home the bronze (well done big Jimmy Wise!)

places

1. Warren Anderton (Leeds)
2. Marek Szczeplek (Leeds)
3. James Wise (Manchester)

Footdown - Dr. Kevin Colgan

Trackstand - Donnacha Carroll


the media that has already come out of Sunday is wicked!

Ride It Under The GMEX!



Yesterday a few came out to bare the cold weather to gather and have a little fun underneath the GMEX. The car park is quite big with only two floors, but I'm sure the people who were there had a bit of fun trying out some new tricks and swigging a couple of beers.
We ended the night in the Peveril of the Peak which, i'm sure everyone who was there will agree was a torrent of emotions! enough said...

Oh and just to let everyone know, LEEDS FIXED GEAR VALENTINES ALLEY CAT - 15/02/2009.
Be there or just miss out on an amazing day out with some really good prizes up for grabs.
Questions to Sam on the above link!
we'll be doing the usual rideit thing of meeting at the GMEX at 11am sunday morning and getting the train from Oxford Road upto Leeds.
let us know if you're coming as we'd hate to leave anyone in the lurch!
ride safe and dont eat the yellow snow! ;)

we went to leeds!




On Tuesday the 3rd of February 2009 a few of the Ride It Sunday lads braved the snow and headed over the hill on the train for Leeds Fixed Gears weekly tricks session!
Sam, Max and the lads showed us around a couple of their local spots, two covered car parks with a load of really cool lines and ramps etc that kept us happy for a good few hours. Richie slammed off a four set! I hurt my hip bein a goon and no one else fell off!
We had a good track stand comp which (if i remember rightly) Max won after Sam threw in the towel with a flourish, then a game of foot down that i think Ben won...
after that we had a few pints of Sam Smiths in the Angel Inn, talked bikes and found a lot of common ground.
After a few pints of extra stout my head was pretty fuzzy and the train was due so we got off, but as far as i know everyone had a really good night and we're hoping that a lot more Manchester lot are coming out for the Valentines Alley Cat on the 15th of February that Sam and the guys are organizing! Bring the other half too!
Fixed Gear only!

ps,
the next ride it sunday will be this Sunday 8/2/09 6pm GMEX, 6.15 ride out!
we're playing the destination by ear due to weather conditions.

lovely montage by dangeruss once again!
